"Marinus van der Lubbe, burned down the Reichstag building in protest against the injustices of unemployment…Van der Lubbe's lone act was portrayed by Joseph Goebbels, soon to become Reich Propaganda Minister, as the result of a Communist conspiracy to stage an armed uprising. This convinced many middle-class voters that the decree (Hitler's decree to suppress the Communist party) was right."

This can be used as evidence in my paper of how Hitler manipulated people agree with his actions. Hitler is said to be a master at speeches and exploiting people to see in his favor. In my paper I want to find out how Hitler was such a convincing leader. Hitler hired Goebbels as his Propaganda Minister and in turn Goebbels made persuasive movies highlighting Hitler's leadership and effectiveness. I think that without Goebbels, Hitler would not have been such a powerful Chancellor. Hiring Goebbels was a very smart move for Hitler and was one of many tactics he used in his manipulation of the German people. The rest of my paper will be researching and recording his other methods in how Hitler became such an effective leader.
